Bad Manners,(buster Blood vessel rumored to have eaten 24 big Macs in one sitting, and I am sure he had a good sitting afterwards,lol) Fun Boy 3, *Ian Dury & the Blockheads- 'New boots & Panties'- a must! The Selecter Maxi Priest The (English)Beat Prince Buster Dave & Ansel Collins *The Bolshoi-'Lindy's Party'- Desmond Dekker Jimmy Cliff Public Image Limited *high quality. The rest, who knows? Check out this site for a comprehensive list of Ska bands http://www.billtanner.net/ska/skabands.html Now where's my ancient Ben Sherman, braces, Doc Martins & Harrington Jacket. Nostalgia. |
Great recommendations, so thanks everyone! I'm very familiar with many of the 80's ska/reggae bands (I enjoyed many UB40, Specials and English Beat shows and even saw Selector at the Whiskey in 1980), but there are many bands here I'm not familiar with, so I'm loving this! The Rebelution song on Youtube(link in earlier response) is great, so it's a must buy! Please keep the recommendations coming! |
